eBook | The Vulnerable State of the Software Supply Chain

The state of the software supply chain in 2023 continues to be "unacceptable," said Brian Fox, co-founder and CTO at Sonatype.

Although the statistics are worrisome, some progress has been made within the open-source software ecosystem since the Log4j vulnerabilities were detected in 2021, Fox said. Regulations and policies by governments, including the national cybersecurity strategy in the United States and the European Union's Cyber Resiliency Act, have increased awareness and momentum - albeit slowly.
